Well, Banjo-Kazooie is back after an absurdly long hiatus..

User Rating: 8.5 | Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts X360
Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts is the latest game from old geniuses rare and it finally expels the gloom of having the name of 'Grabbed by the Ghoulies' in your companies history. (:

Graphics - 9.5/10

These are sweeeeeeeet. An explosive amount of colour and general graphical love has been squeezed into this game. The worlds are mind-blowingly gorgeous, with colour, detail and prettiness exploding around you. Kinda reminiscent of Kingdom Hearts. (: The character models are beautiful and lovingly designed, especially dear old Banjo, whose arse you'll be staring at alot. oh dear. All in all, an amazingly gorgeous game.

Gameplay - 8/10

Hmmm. It strays quite far from the old Banjo formula, and I congratulate it for that. It needed to move on. The new vehicles are very fun and easy to use and the brilliant vehicle maker is alot of fun and you can make anything you want, as long as you have the bits for it. The multiplayer is fun if a little unbalanced, as you can take your own creations into it, and some peoples will no doubt be more advanced and generally better than yours. The basic platforming is good old fun, if a bit collecting heavy. A fun, inventive concept that works very well indeed.

Lifespan - 9/10

This game is very long, with a huge multitude of challenges and fun to be had. The multiplayer extends the life after and then it's just depends on you really. Replay, or not replay...


OVERALLL - 8.5/10
